Bloggers Buff 2007 in Malaysia
My friend, Steven Wong came across the Bloggers Buff 2007 Malaysia on NuffNang Blog a few days ago and told me about it. So I said why don’t we register and attend this Bloggers Buff organized by Mr Mahendran of Puteri MIC and his committee members.
The event started off around 9.00am till 5.0pm at the Dewan Dato Hj Sidek on Jalan Kg Attap, Kuala Lumpur.
The early part of the morning were the arrival of VIPs, a welcoming speech by Mr P Kamalanathan and an opening speech by Dato V Sivaparanjothi, followed by a sharing session on “Why I Blog”.
Timothy Tiah of NuffNang - he shared why and how he set-up online advertising from his university days in London with his partner. He also shared the originality of the word NuffNang which comes from a Jamaican African slang word.
Yvonne Foong of Fight For Tomorrow blog - shared her experiences of her illness and how blogging has helped her raising public donations to fund her operations.
Sandra of LaundryBar - shared her blogging experience about bringing together both local and foreign musician bands together at the Curve, Kuala Lumpur.
Kenny Sia of KennySia - shared about his love for photography as a hobby and he blogs while working as an IT personnel. His blog is ranked 1 of the top 5 in the country.
Yuen Chi of CustomWare Asia Pacific in Kuala Lumpur and their company is a close partner of Atlassian. In short, they sell and are providers of services to Atlassian products. He is based in KL but their company has offices around the Asia Pacific region. He spoke of using “wikis” for corporate sharing of information and knowledge within an organization. He is a techie geek so he blogs about that.
In the second half of the day, there were grouping and ice-breaking session, followed by group presentation, a Forum by a few panelist about “Responsible Blogging” and Networking session before the day ends.
I would like to take this opportunity to also share some of the other blogs by Bloggers who attended this Blogging Meet. This list will also be shared in our July Wordpress Adsense Seminar attendees too.
